Long waitlists go stale without updates
Pediatric SLP evaluation waitlists run 6-12 months. Without periodic position updates, parents take the first available slot elsewhere — leaving the waitlist with phantom entries.
Frontdesk handles end-to-end SLP waitlist management — capturing new waitlist entries, prioritizing by funding source, sending periodic position updates, and firing outbound cancellation-fill campaigns within 5 minutes. Pushes waitlist status into SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, Jane App, Fusion Web Clinic, ClinicSource, and CentralReach. HIPAA-compliant by design.

The Problem
Pediatric SLP evaluation waitlists run 6-12 months. Without periodic position updates, parents take the first available slot elsewhere — leaving the waitlist with phantom entries.
When an evaluation cancels, the slot needs to go to the waitlist within minutes — not hours. Manual waitlist outreach is slow and inconsistent.
A Medicaid EPSDT cancellation should go to a Medicaid waitlist — not a self-pay client. Manual matching drops the ball.
Spanish, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Korean-speaking parents on the waitlist need bilingual updates and cancellation-fill offers.
How Frontdesk Works
